Rat prolactin in serum, milk, and mammary tissue: characterization and intracellular localization.

abstract：:Tumoral insulin-producing cells of the RINm5F line display a poor secretory response to D-glucose. Relative to basal insulin output, which corresponds to a fractional release of stored hormone close to 25%/90 min, the glucose-induced increment in insulin release does not exceed 28 +/- 7%. The low efficiency of D-gluco...
